Prep Cook

Prep Cook — Harriet's Hamburgers

Reports To: Chef – Kitchen Manager

About the Role

Great burgers don't start on the grill — they start with you. As a Prep Cook at Harriet's Hamburgers, you're the foundation of everything we serve. From house-made pickles and sauces to fresh-cut produce, the care you put in before the doors open is what makes every guest's meal worth coming back for. If you take pride in doing things right and want to grow in a kitchen that invests in its people, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Prep fresh ingredients daily — wash, peel, chop, slice, and portion produce
• Make our house-made items from scratch: pickles, sauces, fresh juices, and more
• Measure and assemble ingredients so the line runs smoothly during service
• Label, date, and store all food properly and safely
• Follow all food safety and sanitation guidelines
• Keep your station and the kitchen clean, organized, and ready for anything
• Help with receiving, stocking, and inventory counts
• Work as one team with the rest of the kitchen crew

What We're Looking For

• Prep or kitchen experience is a plus — but a great attitude and willingness to learn matter more
• Comfort with (or eagerness to learn) standard kitchen equipment
• Sharp attention to detail and the ability to follow recipes consistently
• Stamina to stay on your feet and keep pace in a busy kitchen
• Reliability and the ability to manage your prep list without constant supervision
• A team-first, hospitality-minded attitude — kindness is on the menu here, too
